She often imagines what her future looks like, and as a new woman, she must make decisions on her own life. When she was in school, her words and behaviors were extraordinary, and she was smart and beautiful, and she was always the focus of her classmates. There were many male classmates who pursued her, but Guo Yiqing thought she was still young and did not want to talk about personal issues so early. Although Guo Yiqing's father has been doing business with foreigners for many years, he still has feudal ideas in his bones. Just when Guo Yiqing was 17 years old, she was arranged by her parents to have a "mismatch" marriage. Everything suddenly happened is like a nightmare without warning for Guo Yiqing.

Guo Yiqing angrily found her father and wanted to ask clearly. The father told Guo Yiqing that she had been engaged to her and that she could not go out to show up again in the future. After listening to her father's words, Guo Yiqing was stunned. This was completely unacceptable for a progressive young man who had received advanced education. She did not expect that her parents who loved her would marry herself so early. , especially when she learned that she wanted to spend her whole life with her, she couldn't stand it even more.

Days of staying at homeGuo Yiqing really couldn't figure out why his elders married her to an old man. Since then, she has become abnormal. The sensible and well-behaved daughter in the eyes of her parents has become irritable. She often asks her parents, "Why should I marry me to someone who is so much older than me?"Guo Yiqing's parents' feudal thoughts are deeply rooted and they don't take Guo Yiqing's resistance seriously. They feel that generations have to abide by the "partner's orders and matchmakers' words" and it won't work until she reaches her.

Guo Yiqing saw her parents' stubbornness. She used a hunger strike like a way to force her parents to surrender, but her parents who have always loved her seemed to be determined to refuse to give in on this matter. Guo Yiqing's father had never seen a good daughter resisting so extremely, so his attitude seemed to ease.

The father explained to her, "Although he is much older than you and has married three wives before, you don't know that he has made great achievements in military affairs. As long as you marry, you will be the wife of the main wife. From now on, you will have no worries about food and clothing." Although Guo Yiqing's parents' approach is indeed inappropriate, no parents do not want their children to live a good life. In the ideas and concepts of that generation, women find a safe person to marry and marry is the foundation for their lives.

My father's words made Guo Yiqing feel ridiculous. She was extremely disgusted with arranged marriages, but it was her own deep hatred of the idea. is happening to him now, and all this is powerless to change. Seeing that it is finally a foregone conclusion, Guo Yiqing still cannot escape the fateful arrangement. He finally married the man who is 37 years older than him.

raising the case and expressing the heart
Early in the morning, Guo Yiqing was like a puppet whose soul was pulled away. The hands of the maids were shuttled back and forth between her hair. Under the fiddling of a few pairs of skillful hands, Guo Yiqing saw herself in the mirror gradually becoming "festive" and "the lips are red without touching, and the eyebrows are green without drawing". She looked more and more like a bride. looked at the red eyes in front of her, but Guo Yiqing was in it but couldn't be happy.
Guo Yiqing is also a famous family in the local area, and the person he is about to marry is also a famous big shot, so the wedding pomp should not be small. Guo Yiqing heard the noisy outside, the sound of firecrackers and music were endless, the streets were crowded with people, neighbors all came out to watch the excitement, and the whole street was shrouded in a joyful and festive atmosphere. Guo Yiqing turned to look at the maids and the mothers and the other ones were all happy, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with her, only she couldn't be happy.

cheerful suona and cymbals sound from far to near, and the sound of the guests' congratulations could not hide the music. Guo Yiqing knew that the team to pick up the bride was coming, She held her hand tightly, and her eyes covered by the veil were drooping tears one by one. The children on the street chased the coupe.

Only then did people see that the person who married turned out to be the famous Cheng Qian . He was a soldier who killed the enemy on the battlefield. He seemed not so skilled in the human relationship in front of him. Cheng Qian only smiled. After taking the bride home, I saw the guests cheering and drinking at the dinner and it was so lively. The sky gradually darkened, and the guests were already full of food and food, and it was time to leave. Cheng Qian sent all the guests out of the mansion one by one, and only then did he see that under the lights, the red color seemed softer. For soldiers, such a scene made General Cheng Qian, who was used to seeing the golden swords and iron horses, feel a little uncomfortable.

So she slowly walked to the new house covered in red. She was about to push the door and enter, but she heard a burst of crying coming from the door. Cheng Qian hesitated for a moment, but still pushed the door in. It was obvious that the person who came suddenly made the bride Guo Yiqing stop the crying. He slowly uncovered the veil. He knew early in the morning that he married the new wife, a female student much younger than him. also heard that the bride wanted to " cry and marry " when she got married. She was at a loss when facing the crying new wife with pear blossoms in the rain.
In order to alleviate the tension and embarrassment between the two, Cheng Qian began to tell Guo Yiqing about his own affairs. Cheng Qian talked about his military experience for most of his life, as if he was telling other people's stories, but what he didn't know was the past he told, Guo Yiqing listened carefully.

The young girl in his prime seemed a little cramped and nervous under his gaze. Cheng Qian confessed to Guo Yiqing, "I have married three wives, all of whom died of illness. You are the fourth wife. I believe you all know all this. I didn't plan to re-rest, and my friends are anxious for me. They all think I should be a family again and have a companion around me."
Guo Yiqing and Cheng Qian
After hearing what Cheng Qian said, Guo Yiqing looked at Cheng Qian. He originally thought that his husband would be a gray-haired and hunched "old man" , perhaps because of the long-term battle, Cheng Qian's body looks particularly tough and bright. He has the unique temperament of a soldier, which is completely different from the old man she remembers.

Open the heart lock and have no regrets in life
Due to the gap in age between the two, Cheng Qian took good care of Guo Yiqing everywhere and took good care of his diet and daily life. In the days we spent together, Guo Yiqing felt Cheng Qian's love for him, so she began to re-view the relationship between the two.

Guo Yiqing and Cheng Qian
Although Cheng Qian is serious as a soldier, he fully demonstrates the "tenderness of a man" when facing Guo Yiqing. When he talks to his wife, he always whispers softly and will also give Guo Yiqing a historical story from time to time.

Even if the two have different opinions, Cheng Qian will take the initiative to make concessions.

After getting married, Cheng Qian would send money to her family without telling him every month, but he never mentioned it to Guo Yiqing that Cheng Qian took care of Guo Yiqing to the point of meticulousness, just like caring for his daughter. Guo Yiqing's personality is lively and cheerful, while Cheng Qian, as a soldier, is indeed taciturn. The personalities of the two can be said to be complementary. She often listens silently when she talks. When it comes to interesting things, he will occasionally respond one or two, but more often she listens to her with a smile.

Over time, Guo Yiqing's heart was finally knocked open by Cheng Qian. She began to slowly accept him, especially when she learned that Cheng Qian had a deep understanding of justice and patriotism, Guo Yiqing admired him very much.
